Pussy Riot the Russian feminist punk rock outfit is in the news again today. This time there is video showing members of Pussy Riot attempting to stage a performance under a sign advertising the Olympics, when Russian security immediately moves in and begin beating the girls with bull whips.

All this shit makes me so sad… By participating in the olympics all the politicians and sports men and women are saying that sports is more important than human rights. Shit should’ve been boycotted from the very beginning.

Band Spotlight

Hailing from Lincoln, UK Nieviem is a newer skate punk band that has been tearing it up for a little over a year. Steadily releasing new songs, live recordings, and EPs, the band continues the trend with their second EP The Hope Is There. The EP is fast and heavy, borrowing from hardcore but still strongly entrenched in 90's skate punk. If that sounds up your alley, then give it a listen here.
